I have an 11.28 cm cyst in my right ovary and my doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery is it really safe or can it be treated with medicines instead
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A large ovarian cyst like yours (11.28 cm) does increase the risk of complications like torsion or rupture, and surgery is often recommended for cysts of this size. Laparoscopic surgery, removing the cyst through small incisions, is generally considered safe and less invasive than an open procedure. While medication can sometimes shrink smaller cysts, it's less likely to be effective for very large ones.

I'm really anxious about making sure everything's safe before getting married and I want to be extra careful about not getting pregnant right now. Could you give me some advice on what precautions we should take? And, just in case, if I do end up getting pregnant, what should I do next? I'm really looking for some guidance here.
For premarital safe sex and pregnancy prevention, consider the following: use condoms (malefemale) consistently and correctly, explore other contraceptive methods like birth control pills, patches, rings, or IUDs after consulting a healthcare provider; if pregnancy occurs unintentionally, options include: 1) continuing the pregnancy and preparing for parenthood, 2) adoption, or 3) medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) within the legal timeframe and under medical guidance; prioritize open communication, mutual respect, and informed decision-making with your partner.

I've had to take the morning after pill a few times now because of contraception not working as it should. I'm really worried about whether using this pill multiple times could cause issues with fertility in the future. Could it actually lead to infertility or affect my chances of having kids down the line?
